Recorded Architecture

BluePrints That Never Were

The series Blueprints That Never Were began in 2019 depicting historic buildings and elements in the Coeymans Landing Historic District, as part of the Our Town project.

The significance of drawing on the cobalt blue tissue paper calls attention to the preciousness and fragility of these historic buildings, and the desire to capture their facade -in the absence of true architectural blueprints.

As this series continues to develop featuring regional architecture, the symbolic nature of the materials holds true, paying homage to our homes and the special roles they play in our daily lives.
